KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 1122 PM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

- Cool end to the week then a gradual warmup into the beginning of next week.

- Cut off low in the southwest digs further south into northern Mexico keeping any shower chances south of our area on Saturday.

SHORT TERM

(Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 1122 PM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

With the exception of the extreme southeast CWA skies are mostly clear over the entire area this evening. IR satellite imagery is showing some mid and high level clouds over New Mexico moving this way but that probably wont stop a good night of radiational cooling that is now underway. Morning lows are expected to be in the 30s across the entire region with the northwest seeing temps near freezing while the rest of the panhandles sees mid to upper 30s. Friday should be a quiet day weatherwise although there will be an increase in high clouds across the area. This will slow the diurnal rise and high temps will be in the upper 50s to around 60. The trough in the west will dig south on Friday and end up being cut off over northern Mexico. This evenings models are showing it to be further south than yesterday at this time. This is suggesting that the showers associated with this low will stay south of our CWA on Saturday. The models now suggest that this low will eventually move east over Texas but stay far enough south of us to keep us dry.

LONG TERM

(Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 1122 PM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

Quiet pattern to start the week and quiet weather is expected through the middle of the week with temperatures back into the 60s and possibly lower 70s by midweek. Toward the end of next week a trough dropping south from Canada into the southern plains could bring some cooler air which skirts the eastern portions of our area. Otherwise no significant weather expected until then.
